Attabad Lake water reaches spillway
HUNZA: The administration prohibits entry into the lower areas of Hunza Nagar for two days as water from the Attabad lake reaches the threshold of the spillway, said sources Thursday.
According to the Gilgit-Baltistan administration, any journey on the Hunza river is banned and so is the entry into Ganesh Bridge.
The civil and army officials have started monitoring the spillway through satellite cameras.
Sirens will be sounded half an hour prior to the outflow of water.
The distance between the level of lake and spill way is not 6.5 feet.
More areas of Gilgit and Shishkat have been inundated as water level rises.
Victims of the flood are forced to live under the open sky.
The relief teams have been stranded in northern Hunza as the helicopter service is discontinued.
